The aging process—that disease which is lurking to infect whatever part of your body you make weakest through lack of nourishment—begins its work as soon as you stop growing. Some young people start losing their teeth and eyesight during puberty! John and Sandra’s child’s chances to live to be 150 will increase in direct ratio to the food and loving care his intelligent, health-minded parents will bestow upon him.

Dr. C. Ward Crampton, the noted pioneer in the science of geriatrics, also says that the ages of man are seven: chronological, anatomical, physiological, pathological, psychological, statistical, and hereditary.

Mr. N, the man in question, could refute this “aging test” with flying colors (how would you stack up?):
1. Do you find it more difficult than formerly to remember events which happened during the past twenty-four hours?
2. Have you lost your efficiency in executing physical and mental tasks?
3. Do you accept or resist new ideas?
4. Do your goals seem less worthy to strive for than they
once were?
5. Do you spend more and more time recalling the “good
old days”?
